About

Who am I? I am a physcist, and artist. A photographer and a writer. A designer and a developer. A network marketer and a father and a husband. Not in that order.

Why am I called Puma (sometimes Poomah)?
I was introduced to the internet in late 1988. It was a different beast back then. There was less than 200 newsgroups and you could only find software using a text based search engine. (Yep this was a little bit before the web and html was created.) A number of groups I posted to already had people posting both as Phil and Philip. Since I don’t like constantly answering the same question about my name (Philip Morris), I started using the name Puma which is my initials in an interesting sort of way. People in the news groups I frequented encouraged my use of the name. I’ve been Puma ever since.

Where do you live? I grew up in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA. I attended local schools, excelled in Math and Science as well as many artistic hobbies. I decided at a young age that I wanted to work in robotics at NASA. I did that for a while then moved on to other things. I meet the woman of my dreams in 2000, got married, had kids and moved to North Carolina so my kids could grow up around their grandparents. I have no intention of moving.

Got any interesting hobbies? I have many hobbies, but my most notable hobby is photography. I also love to cook and woodworking. I don’t try to mix any of the hobbies, they are mutually exclusive.

What do you do for a living? I’m a web architect as well as a professional photographer but my primary work is in network marketing for a phenomenal set of products that every one needs..

Can you handle more freelance jobs right now? Definitely. My family always comes first. So my workload always goes through them first.

Where can I find more about you online? I have a linkedin profile and a facebook profile.
